When i went to my 32 week check up today, the doctor measured me and said i was right on schedule and then said im in the 60th percentile....What does that mean? Is it good or bad?

It sounds good to me.
What the percentiles mean is: for example: my baby is measuring at 92 percentile. It is bigger than 92 % of other infants his age.
You are measuring at 60% which is perfect...right in the middle. More than 60% of other women/ babies at your stage...less than 40% of others...
Good luck! And...if you ever have questions..make sure you ask your ob until you get a satisfactory answer. That is one of the things we pay them for!

congratulations....if baby keeps growing at this rate you will havea nice average size one....not too big to deliver , not too small where it would be unhealthy.. i can never seem to make it in the middle... im 38 weeks along now with baby #4 and im in the 98th percentile ..they say probably a 10-11 pound baby . my sister was around the 60TH percentile and my niece was 6 lb 8 oz 4 days before her due date.
